Life lately, according to James... [March 2015]

Well it's been a hot minute since I've blogged! I just don't know where the time goes. :-P

 We are lovin' life with our little Jamesy-boy. I don't really have any coherent thoughts to share, so I'll just photo dump a glimpse into our days.

 I'm still obsessed with baby hoodies. I just can't get over it. He will probably be wearing hoodies well into summer.

He has turned into such a HAPPY boy! Not that he wasn't happy before, but he is just SO smiley & giggly. He's become much more alert and aware of his surroundings the last few weeks and it's been so much fun.

I'd be this happy too if I got to take 4 naps a day.

I had some Babies'R'Us bucks to cash in, so we got him this exer-saucer toy. It's beach-themed. He's still not quite big enough to play in it and gets confused... which makes it all the more fun.
Ummm... and what am I supposed to be doing?!
A few weekends ago, we traveled to Indiana to visit with some of my Business Man's friends from college. There are now two babies in the mix, so that was super fun. This was one of the only pics I snapped from the weekend. 
NOT a fan of Daddy's piano skillz.
Last weekend, my in-laws came to visit. We headed to Fort Wayne for the day and spent some time at Sky Zone - an indoor trampoline park! (It has been my life dream to get a trampoline for the backyard... this was heaven! I can't wait until James is old enough so I can buy him one for his birthday or something.)

I only peed a little. Having a baby really does a number on your bladder. ;)

I got to dive headfirst into that foam pit. SO FUN!
James had his 4-month well visit last week. He is now 25 inches long and a whopping 16+ lbs! The doctor said he's doing great. Puppy came along for moral support... (shots). James has really taken a liking to Puppy. His favorite is when Puppy 'licks' his face.


He's entered the stage where EVERYTHING goes into his mouth. Fingers, hair, hoodie strings, mirrors from the activity mat. Bahaha. He even attempted to suck my nose when we were cuddling.


The doctor also gave us the go-ahead to start using the running stroller! We went a solid 4.5 miles on Saturday, and surprisingly I wasn't too sore! Unfortunately, we now have 2 inches of snow on the ground so it'll be awhile before we bust it out again.


He's getting close to rolling over! He loves to get up on one side, chill there for a minute, and flop back down.

Not much else to say, except that we've settled into a pretty good routine. He's still not quite sleeping through the night (gets hungry once around 4-5am), but hopefully soon. He's taking 3-4 naps a day, sometimes 30 min, sometimes 2+ hours! (Those are definitely rare.) 

Looking forward to a trip home to visit family this weekend!

The Arrival of Something New...

Woo hoo for the last Friday of the school year! And only one more day of school next week. (And then a couple teacher workshops...) Another reason to be excited? Our fridge came today!! Isn't she a beauty? It is so nice to have a fridge again. You don't realize how much you miss a full-size refrigerator until you go a couple weeks without it. A bit bare... but that can be solved easily. Bottom-drawer freezer, containing the essentials: moose tracks & Diet Dew trying to get cold asap. Anyways, I'm just popping in to share my beautiful new appliance. The baking monster has taken over, and I'm in the midst of making 150 cupcakes for a graduation party tomorrow.  First big baking project in the new kitchen! I'm loving all the counter space. Mmm... chocolate buttercream! Making good use of the baking nook! :) Adios!

The Essential Summer Dessert

Last weekend, my Business Man and I hosted a fiesta for some of our friends in the Bean Town. While everyone enjoyed the food, I think dessert was the biggest hit. (Surprise, surprise.) We had brownies (from a box, the horror!) topped with chocolate ganache, and fruit pizza . Fruit pizza is most definitely my "go-to" summer dessert. Since it's the official 1st day of summer, I thought I'd share the recipe! It's delicious without being too heavy or rich. And it's most definitely healthy, because you are eating fruit, right? The recipe I use is my mom's... she's been using it for years. It starts with a basic sugar cookie base, topped with a cream cheese-whipped topping, and then all the fruit your little heart desires! I usually go with strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, and mandarin oranges. But raspberries are really good, too. Even better when you pick the fruit yourself! (Picking berries on our honeymoon last July.) ...

2011 Flying Pig Marathon Race Recap

Marathons are hard. But before we get to the actual marathon, let's rewind a bit to Saturday afternoon. We arrived in Cincy around 2pm, and hit up marathon expo. Goodness sakes, I had never seen a room so large filled with so many runners. Everyone was so excited, you could almost feel the energy. We weaved our way through the exhibitors and what they had to offer. (Think free dark chocolate almond granola samples! Yum! I also might have snagged some info on the Disney Half & Marathon in January... we shall see.) We also stopped for a few fun photo ops. Posing with a balloon flying pig. These were everywhere! Flying pigs with all sorts of themes. They were so cute! After the expo, we headed to our early-bird dinner. We had the luxury of dining at Maggiano's Little Italy   (major carb-loading!), and it was a fantastic dining experience. The service was great , and the food was delicious as well. None of us had ever eaten there, befo...
